Get ready to polish off your lightgun skills—or grab a controller—because the ultimate retro-fueled arcade experience is back! Developer Dead Drop Studios has officially launched Railbreak DX, bringing the high-octane, B-movie survival horror action to modern systems.
Released on September 4th, Railbreak DX lands on PlayStation 5 (complete with dedicated PlayStation 5 Pro enhancements), Xbox Series X|S & Xbox Play Anywhere, and Steam for an MSRP of $24.99 USD (international pricing may vary).
Whether you’re a nostalgic fan of 90s classic arcade shooters or looking for modern graphic fidelity, here is everything you need to know about this major upgrade to the Railbreak saga.
What’s New in Railbreak DX?
Set in the doomed city of Cypress Ridge, Railbreak DX serves as an expanded, definitive edition built on the impressive Unreal Engine 5. The game doubles down on pure B-movie mayhem with tons of new features, upgraded visuals, and rebalanced mechanics:
- Massive Character Roster: Railbreak DX introduces 9 brand-new playable survivors, bringing the total cast up to 18 playable characters across side modes. Each survivor features unique traits, loadouts, clip sizes, and firing rates.
- Zombies Meets Dinosaurs: Tired of standard flesh-eaters? You can now remix the nightmare by enabling dinosaur foes from DINOBREAK. Fight pure undead hordes, terrifying prehistoric monsters, or mix both together for maximum chaos!
- Upgraded UE5 Visuals & Performance: Enhanced ray tracing, improved volumetric lighting, destructible environments, and crisp new weapon animations bring Cypress Ridge to life like never before—with silky smooth frame rates on PS5 Pro.
- Xbox Play Anywhere Support: Buy once on Xbox and enjoy cross-save and cross-progression across your Xbox console, PC, and handheld devices.
- Refined Gameplay & Modes: Enjoy a full overhaul featuring practice mode, balanced munitions, refined enemy AI, and mouse/keyboard, controller, or lightgun (such as Sinden Lightgun) support.
Endless Ways to Blast Your Way Out
Railbreak DX packs an astounding amount of content into its $24.99 price tag, supporting optional 2-player co-op across every mode:
- Story Mode: A six-act, cheesy, fully-voiced campaign where you shoot through horde after horde to escape the burning city.
- Glitch Gauntlet: A rogue-like experience where randomised enemy spawns, items, and unpredictable “glitch” effects keep every run fresh.
- Onslaught Mode: An endless survival mode that ramps up the difficulty until the undead eventually overwhelm you.
- Score Attack & Training: Practice boss rush challenges or level runs in Training Mode, or compete for top rankings on the leaderboards.
